Pacific Clinics received a rave review in the most recent COA Accreditation process. This distinction affirms that all locations and programs across the state uphold best-practice standards, continuously improve and deliver high-quality service and organizational excellence.

For clients and families, this recognition reinforces that they can expect safe, effective and compassionate care delivered with a strong commitment to continuous improvement.

COA accreditation involves a rigorous review of service delivery, clinical practices, governance and outcomes. Pacific Clinics programs undergo ongoing evaluations to ensure they meet nationally recognized standards and continue evolving to address the changing needs of the communities they serve.

“This accreditation is an honor and a testament to the quality programs and services we offer at Pacific Clinics,” says CEO/President Kathy McCarthy. “We are constantly challenging ourselves to innovate, strengthen our systems and elevate the care we offer, ensuring that children, youth, adults and family members receive exceptional evidence-based care.”

“We are pleased to receive this recognition,” adds Chief Operations Officer Shawn M. Caracoza. “Accreditation from COA affirms the strength of our internal processes and our unwavering focus on client-centered care and the dedication of our teams who ensure the people we serve receive high-quality services.”

This recognition reflects the compassion, expertise and commitment of Pacific Clinics employees across the state, whose daily work makes a meaningful difference in the lives of children, adults and families.

At a time when the need for accessible, high-quality behavioral health services continues to grow, maintaining COA accreditation underscores Pacific Clinics’ commitment to accountability, innovation and trusted care.

The Council on Accreditation (COA) is an independent, nonprofit organization that evaluates and accredits human and behavioral health service providers against nationally recognized best-practice standards.
